Thanks for the updates. In a couple of weeks we are planning to go to our place in Idaho for the summer. Hopefully, we can still get through.

Winter is the only time of year I enjoy visiting Norris Geyser Basin. The thermophilic algae there really pops at this time of year I have not been a huge fan of Norris at least as compared to some other areas of the park. But your photos have me really wanting to visit in the winter! Great shots. ...

Thanks, Dorothy.

The snow geese can be quite spectacular. I assume there were some of the blue-geese hybrids and subspecies mixed in. Were there any eagles hanging around? They will often follow the flocks during migration.

Yellvet, I did not realize that the snowys went that far south in the US. I know you have some beautiful hummingbirds in that area. Enjoy the warmth! We will be heading out to Idaho in a few weeks to shovel snow off our deck. We will head into the parks for a day or two if weather permits. We'll giv...

Max, Great for you and your clients. Nice that you were able to make something productive out of an airline delay.

I just had to share that Karen and I spotted our first smowy owl ever in January. Though technically not in a park, we wanted to share that we have actually seen this beautiful species. This is in the area where Karen grew up. We were staying with family as she was volunteering to teach an ESL class...
